Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge
Chapter 120 Robbers
When Sang Mo heard this, a hint of joy appeared on his face. "As long as Madam likes it, that's good. By the way, the two people who went out just now finally returned to Prince An's Mansion."
"What? Is it Prince An's Mansion?" Gu Xunwei was puzzled.
Sang Mo nodded and said, "I asked a friend to identify them. They are both guests of Prince An's mansion. They have been serving Prince An for more than three years and are very loyal to him."
Prince An, he actually chose to protect the two of them even though they had already become notorious and had lost all their fame, and was willing to spend several thousand taels of silver to take care of them. This made Gu Xunwei sigh again, it seemed that the two of them still had a lot of room for improvement in the future.
However, as long as I am here, I will definitely not let them jump around for too long.
"By the way, I snatched all the banknotes from them and just gave them to Bai Zhi. But don't worry, madam. I was in disguise at the time and they will definitely not be able to find out." Sang Mo smiled and described to Gu Xunwei in detail how he robbed them.
Gu Xunwei burst out laughing. Chief Sang really was a vengeful person.
"Those banknotes, you..." Gu Xunwei was interrupted by Sang Mo before she could finish her words. He knew what Gu Xunwei was going to say.
Without waiting for her to say anything else, he cupped his hands and said, "If there is nothing else, I will return to the palace first. The Queen Mother's birthday banquet the day after tomorrow will probably be very lively, so I have to go back and prepare in advance."
Gu Xunwei had no choice but to nod and no longer worry about the banknotes. She decided to put them in Wangyu Tower for operational purposes, so that she and His Highness would each have half.
Thinking of the excitement that Sang Mo described, His Highness must have taken what he said to heart. He hoped that what he heard in his previous life was true, and that His Highness would not have worked in vain.
……
In Prince An's mansion, Wen Jiaxiang and Xi Gaoyuan ran into the conference room with blood on their faces. Fortunately, there were only two people in the room who were discussing birthday celebrations with Prince An. Seeing their looks, they all stood up in surprise.
Li Junze also frowned, not understanding how such a small thing could have turned out like this.
"You guys go down and prepare first. If you have any other ideas, feel free to come to me." He waved his hand and said to the other two people, then turned his attention to the two of them.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
The two men not only had blood on their faces, but also had bruised noses and swollen faces, obviously having been beaten up.
"After we came out of Xie's house, we wandered around outside for half an hour in case someone followed us, and then we were ready to go back to the house. But when we were walking to a remote alley, a man came out from behind and beat us up without saying a word."
The corners of Wen Jiaxiang's mouth were swollen and he couldn't speak clearly, but he still spoke first because Xi Gaoyuan was in a worse condition than him. When he was beaten, he bit his tongue with his teeth and it was still bleeding.
"But is it someone from the Xie Mansion?" The first person Li Junze could think of was the Xie Mansion. After all, the two of them usually worked in the mansion and had never offended anyone outside.
"I don't know, but we came out of Xie's house and walked around for a long time. We returned to the house only after we made sure that no one was following us. So it is possible that he is not from Xie's house." Wen Jiaxiang said carefully.
"Besides, after he beat us up, he also took away all the banknotes we had. I think he must be a robber or a bandit."
Li Junze didn't believe it at all. How could there be robbers and bandits causing trouble in broad daylight in the important area of the capital?
"Has Madam Xie agreed to sign the letter of understanding?"
"No, we didn't take the banknotes either." Both of them looked dejected. Not only did they fail to accomplish their mission, but they ended up with such a result. If they hadn't been in a hurry to come back and report the news, they would have been too embarrassed to come back.
What a waste.
Li Junze cursed inwardly and wanted to use another method to threaten Gu Xunwei to agree to sign the letter of understanding, but was persuaded by Cao Xingwen.
"Your Highness, please be patient. The day after tomorrow is the Queen Mother's birthday. It would be better to deal with the affairs of the Xie Mansion after this matter. After all, we are in the Dali Temple and don't care about one or two days."
Li Junze thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he stopped worrying about the several thousand taels of silver notes and asked them to leave.
Only a few of them knew about the events of the day after tomorrow and all the plans, so Li Junze did not want to say too much to these diners, so as to avoid any leaks. He looked with gloomy eyes at a figure that flashed by outside the door.
The butler came in at this time, "Your Highness, Master Wang sent someone over and said he has news for you."
Li Junze nodded and asked him to come in and answer the question. Then a servant in blue clothes walked in, bowed to him, and said, "Your Highness, the master asked me to come here to pass on a message."
"Well, go ahead." Li Junze looked at the servant. It was actually a stranger, but judging from his clothes and logo, there should be nothing wrong with him.
The servant then said, "Everything is ready. Your Highness, please be patient and wait patiently."
Li Junze was stunned after hearing this. This was because his grandfather was worried that he would lose his patience and ruin his plans again, so he sent someone to pass on the message. He was indeed a cautious person.
"Got it, please rest assured, grandpa." Li Junze nodded, not wanting to say anything else. Grandpa always felt that he was still a child, and it was still the same at times like this.
"Yes." The servant said, smiling as he took out a brocade box from his bosom and presented it to Li Junze with both hands. He then continued, "This is what the master asked me to bring over. I want to personally deliver it to Your Highness."
After he finished speaking, he placed the brocade box on the corner of the table, and then walked out of the hall with the butler.
Li Junze felt somewhat helpless. He stretched out his hand to open the brocade box, and inside was a jade bracelet engraved with the pattern of "Hundreds of Sons and Thousands of Grandchildren".
This... is it for me to give this hand as a birthday gift to the Empress Dowager?
He picked up the piece of jade. Although it was delicately carved and the expressions of every child on it were lifelike, it was too small and the quality was not the best. It was just slightly better than ordinary jade in size and there was nothing special about it. It was not worth showing off.
However, he only thought about it for a moment and immediately understood that his grandfather meant that the birthday gift this time should not be too ostentatious, the more ordinary the better.
So he asked the butler to put the bracelet away. Regardless of its quality, he would do as his grandfather wished.
